Antalya taxi — yellow-cab vs private Mercedes
When tourists search "antalya taxi" they almost always mean the airport-to-hotel ride. The yellow city cab quotes €45-60 on the meter; our fixed-price private Mercedes does the same Antalya–Belek run for €26 with flight tracking, child seats and a meet-and-greet driver.
Antalya yellow taxi vs SooTransfer private
Yellow-cab fares are metered (start at 5.50 TRY + 4.90 TRY/km), with a 50% night surcharge between 22:00-06:00 and a €1-2 luggage fee per bag. A typical AYT → Belek ride comes in at €45-60 in summer, €60-80 at night. Our private Mercedes is €26 fixed regardless of hour or season — no luggage fee, no night surcharge, flight tracking included.
When is an Antalya taxi the right choice?
Almost never for a planned trip. The only scenario where flagging an Antalya yellow cab makes sense is if you forgot to pre-book and need a 60-second pickup at the rank. For everything else (delays, child seats, larger group, fixed budget), our pre-booked private Mercedes is cheaper and more comfortable.

Frequently asked
How much is an Antalya taxi from the airport to Belek?
Yellow taxi meter: €45-60 daytime, €60-80 at night. SooTransfer private Mercedes: €26 fixed at any hour.
Are Antalya taxis safe?
Yes — municipal taxis are licensed and metered. The main risk is language barrier and no flight tracking. Private transfer eliminates both.
Do Antalya taxis take credit cards?
Many do but not all — bring cash to be safe. SooTransfer accepts cash (EUR/USD/GBP/TRY) and cards.
How do I get a taxi from Antalya Airport?
Yellow taxi rank is directly outside arrivals. Or pre-book a private Mercedes (cheaper, fixed price, driver waits with your name sign).
Do Antalya taxis charge extra for luggage?
Yes — typically €1-2 per piece. Our private Mercedes never charges for luggage.
